Cleo Higgins behaves like a diva

Cleo Higgins allegedly demanded smoke machines, a group of backing dancers and a catsuit, and changed her song choice multiple times

Cleo Higgins has once again been rapped for her diva antics on 'The Voice'.

The 31-year-old singer - a former member of girl group Cleopatra - has allegedly demanded smoke machines, a group of backing dancers and a catsuit, as well as changing her song choice multiple times ahead of this week's semi final.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Cleo is absolutely going for it this week. She has made no bones about the fact she wants her solo performance to blow the others out of the water.

"She is determined that the song choice has to be perfect and has also asked the bosses to pull out all the stops when it comes to the special effects.

"She knows what she wants and certainly isn't afraid to ask for it. For her costume, only a catsuit will do."

The insider added the backstage team are trying to accommodate her but the growing list of demands is making things difficult and some people's patience is wearing thin.

The source added: "The rest of the contestants are all getting wound up because they don't see how she is managing to get away with bossing everyone about."

Cleo Higgins and seven other semi finalists will battle it out for a spot in the final on Saturday (15.06.13).
